Seahawks LG Luke Joeckel (questionable, knee) will play in Week 12 against the 49ers.

Joeckel has missed the last five weeks recovering from a knee scope. His return comes at a good time with RG Oday Aboushi sidelined. It's an upgrade for an offensive line that's struggled to protect Russell Wilson. Joeckel was having a bounceback year before going down. Sat, Nov 25, 2017 05:10:00 PM

Joeckel underwent an arthroscopic operation during the Seahawks' Week 6 bye. Unsurprisingly, Joeckel has been a liability on Russell Wilson's left side, though the options to replace him are even less appealing. Mark Glowinski is expected to get the first crack, though second-rounder Ethan Pocic is also a possibility. Coach Pete Carroll said both players could play in Week 7. Tue, Oct 17, 2017 03:47:00 PM

He'll play Sunday against the Rams before going under the knife during the Seahawks' Week 6 bye. It's unclear what the surgery will entail, though early indications suggest it could be just a minor knee scope. Those surgeries usually require 2-4 weeks for recovery. Through four games, Joeckel has earned PFF's No. 29 grade out of 73 qualifiers at guard. Sun, Oct 8, 2017 08:45:00 AM

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday night that LT George Fant (ACL) is done for the season.

Carroll called it a "significant" ACL injury, and suggested there may have been more ligament damage. The injury indeed looked brutal on the field. The Seahawks turned to sometimes guard Rees Odhiambo as their first-team left tackle in Fant's absence. They could also look at LG Luke Joeckel as a left guard alternative, or give un-retired free agent Branden Albert a phone call.
